Canada: Court Win For Medical Marijuana Users

National Post

Friday 24 Apr 2009

( CNS ) Canadians who are legally permitted to smoke pot to treat illness won a victory in the Supreme Court of Canada yesterday when it refused to hear an appeal of a ruling that put an end to the federal government monopoly.

A three-judge panel, without giving reasons, rejected the Justice Department's application to challenge a Federal Court of Appeal decision that gave licensed producers the right to grow marijuana for more than one patient.

The Supreme Court's decision to stay out of the matter effectively upholds the 2008 ruling, which dismissed the government's argument that the industry would be thrust into deregulation if the court loosened restrictions. The decision was a victory for a group of patients who argued that the government -issued pot, supplied by Prairie Plant Systems in Manitoba, is too weak and that they should have the option to find their own supply.
